Bayard High School - Tiger Yearbook (Bayard, NE)

Text from Pages 1 - 44 of the 1940 volume:

The Tiger 1940 Edited by the Senior Class of the Bayard High School Bayard, Nebraska u Board of Education K. F. RYSTROM, President F. O. RATH I). H. OSBORNE, Vice-president M. L. BIGLER L. A. FRICKE, Secretary R. M. BARKDOLL FOREWORD AS YOU TURN THROUGH THE pages of this annual, you will notice that a year of Bayard high school life has been presented in terms of life and personalities at Washington. We are thinking, for the moment, of the familiar brick walls of Bayard High School as the gleaming walls and pillars of the White House. If that seems difficult, think that the American schoolhouse is truly a “White House” in the darkness of a world of war and sorrow. Nowhere does the white light of democracy burn more brightly than in the American schools. May' that light continue to burn undimnied at Bayard and everywhere else in America. DEDICATION Of To Ed Young, whose interest in student affairs has won for him a high place in the esteem of all students ; whose kind words of counsel and untiring efforts as administrator have served to inspire us, we dedicate this 1940 Tiger. i HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY F A C u .

Harold Reichert opened the session of our second term, with Miss DeVoe f erving again as Sponsor, and Mrs. Moberg, Class Mother. Our congressional records show that no outstanding events occurred in our first two terms, bi t mighty ideas were being expounded. Our third term was more complicated, but the class was also more experienced. Bernice Prince was elected to preside over the House for this term. The representatives chose Miss Peterson to sponsor them. Mrs. Moberg was again elected to serve as Class Mother. The class play “Polishing Papa,” revealed some outstanding dramatic abilities. To entertain th • mighty Seniors of last year, we gave a banquet, and used as our theme, a circus. This was a success with which we were proud to close our th'rd term Dick O'Neal opened the fourth and last session. Miss Fortna was selected to sponsor us, and for the third year, Mrs. Moberg was elected Class Mother. Throughout the last term, our ideas crystallized and we solved our problems, one by one. The class chose as its colors. Royal Blue and White. These were to represent qualities of purity and truthfulness. Work on the annual was started at the beginning of the second semester. Deep study and much hard work were required to make this annual bigger and better than ever before. The class sponsored several projects in order to finance publication of an annual in 1940. The cast for the class play, Seven Sisters,” was selected' and work on the play was started in April. There were whispers in the “House” as Sneak Day approached, for we Seniors had been looking forward to this for four years. Because of the many tasks that still lie ahead, we have chosen as our motto “Finished—Yet Beginning.” f JUNIORS Flrsi row—K-rt to right: Mary Ann Abeyla, LeRoy Barry, Walter Hastron, Lois Bristol, Ruth Brown.

We, the Juniors In the fall of 19.37, 12 girls and .31 boys—a total of 7.3—entered Bayard High School and immediately started work on their many tasks. Under the supervision of Miss Gillespie as Class Sponsor, and Mrs. Fuerst as Class Mother, we laid the foundation for our high school career. Our Sophomore year found us with 25 girls and 26 boys, 51 in all. Miss Barry was chosen Class Sponsor. During the year she accepted a position in Iowa and Mr. Poulson was our adviser the remainder of the term. Mrs. Doher served as our Class Mother throughout the year. As Juniors, we had .39 girls and 26 bovs—a representation of 65—with Miss Barta as Sponsor and Mrs. Moore as our able Class Mother. Our class play, “Tons of Money, was presented in November and received many compliments. We received our class rings just after Christmas. At the beginning of the second semester, we began work on our banquet, which we gave late in April. All in all, we have had a successful year as Juniors, and are eagerly awaiting the time—next year—when we will be the graduating class.

At the opening of this session, forty-seven girls and thirty-nine boys were found eligible for voting in the “House.’’ Harold Black presided as Speaker of the House and Larry Bigler was elected Vice-President. Elnora Steffan was chosen to represent the voters in writing and Mildred Schwindt was elected Treasurer. With the able assistance of Sponsor Clair Poulson and “Mom Baird, these eager and bold Sophomores accomplished the many tasks awaiting them in this session. From the Hoor there were many motions which were often followed by heated discussions. This class was prominent in many activities. There were eight letter-men; seven were members of the Pep Club; and many took part in the musical activities. We, the Sophomores, predict and hope that we shall be an outstanding class. We, the Freshmen We. the Freshmen, eager to fulfill our plans and hopes of becoming the best class of Bayard High School wish to graduate with the highest honors. As “Presides,“ we greatly enjoyed our parties. On a picnic, we climbed hills near Chimney Rock. At a skating party, a few learned that skating is an art. In our Freshman year, we were interested in the many activities which our school offers. Many of us participated in Band, Glee Club, Pep Club. G. A. A. or Declamation. These were new fields for us to explore, and we believe that when we are upper classmen, we, too. will hold the honors. We greatly appreciate the help given us by our class mother, sponsor, and officers. President ..................... Bill O’Keefe Vice-President Eugene Doering Secretary ........................

The chorus has made these various appearances: convocation programs, school demonstration programs, and music programs, in November and February. Other programs of which it was a part were: a spring musicalc, radio broadcast, local and district contests, and baccalaureate. Student directing was done by Marjorie Moberg, Lois Bristol, June Deal and Bernice Prince. Several types of music were studied during the year. “Lost In the Night” was of the religious type; “Green Cathedral ’ secular; “Kerry Dancers ’ folk music; and “Climbing Up the Mountain” was an example of the Negro spiritual.

Another name for this organization is the Girls' Glee Club. Miss Leota Davis, directing and presiding over the House, has helped each member to contribute her best vocal talents to this group. From the forty-one active members, officers selected by vote were June Deal. President; Betty Ann Spangler. Librarian; and Margaret Frieke, Secretary. The groups made their first appearance singing for convocation and then took part in a music program in November. On February 29. another music program was presented in which the girls participated. At the 1939 District Music Contest the Glee Club was given a superior rating. Marjorie Moberg. pianist, deserves praise for her faithfulness and skill in accompanying this group, for she has certainly helped to make this a successful year. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB First row: E.

At the beginning of the year, an election was held, and the boys selected Donal Tompkins as President, Bill Levick as Librarian, and Walter Bastron as Secretary.

It was voted that three band sessions be held each week. With the first important business settled, the members undertook to settle the business remaining before the House. Added to the band this year- as a result of a session of the Board of Education—were new stands, new music folders, and most important of all. new instruments were added, which made for a more balanced band. Playing these new instruments were beginners who entered into the main band in March. These improvements added a great deal to the band, and helped to arouse more interest and enthusiasm. W ith the rest of the business postponed until the following session, the meeting adjourned. DEBATE Miss Peterson, coach; K. Chitwood, M. Smith, J. Chitwood, B. Prince, E. ButT. The Court of Debate convened in the month of September, 1939, with Miss Peterson serving as judge. Maxcv Jean Smith and Bernice Prince defended both the affirmative and negative sides of the question, “The Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railroads.” Lloyd Cooney and Kenneth Chitwood upheld the affirmative side, while Jean Chitwood and Elaine Ruff defended the negative. The trials over this question were held at the following places: Gering; a Four-State Tournament at Chadron; Sidney; the Denver University at Denver; Scottsbluff; and the Finals at Kimball. At the Four-State Tournament held in Chadron in December, Bernice Prince took first in Women’s Extemporaneous Speaking, a part of the Forensic Activities. All students participating in Debate will receive letters except Bernice Prince and Maxcv Jean Smith, who will be awarded certificates since they earned their letters two years ago. The Court adjourned, after a successful Court Session, in May, 1940. “B” CLUB His I row W. Bastron, B. Karnes, V. George. F. Watlien. B. Calvert. C. Calvert. M. Vera, B. Hlchter.

Only boys who received their letter in one of the major sports—football, basketball, or track—and were initiated, were eligible for membership. The purpose of the club was to promote better sportsmanship. Several banquets were given in honor of the club. Those given were by Captain Dick O’Neal, Bob Karnes, Walter Bastron, and the Pep Club. One of the customs of the “B” club has been to elect a Football Queen. This honor was bestowed upon Helen Kniss for the 1989 season. During the year the “B“ club also sponsored a boxing tournament and a posture contest. Officers of the club included Donald Prince and Glenn Petersen, with Coach Logan as Soonsor.

RtilT. K. Vannatta. N Samuels. J. Moore. B. Prince, M. Moberg, M. Rogers. In September, 1939, a strong lobbying organization began its work. The purpose of the lobbyists was to promote school spirit and pep. The group was led by Bernice Prince with the help of Miss Fisher. Five new members were initiated in a fitting manner. During the football season the lobbyists aided in the crowning of the football queen, and participated in numerous rallies, including two night rallies in which the patrons of the school also cooperated. In December a banquet was held honoring the football team and “B” club members. Much entertainment was derived from the showing of baby pictures of the members of the team. Seven new members were added for the second semester. Skits and rallies were also used to increase school spirit during the basket ball season. The purpose of the Pep Club was to create a feeling of cooperation throughout the student body and to express that spirit by supporting all school activities. rf r 1 1 I J G. A. A. First row: V.

Just as tlie Legislature Reference Bureau is a division of a library especially equipped to assist legislators, so the Girls’ Athletic Association attempts to assist all girls in athletics. This year, Margaret Fricke, as President and Head Librarian, helped many of the girls to the correct card index.
